How-To - Making Butter
Since you probably don't have a churn handy (and if you do, you probably
already know how to make butter), this is a recipe for making butter in your
blender.
Butter file Butter making is an art that is not practiced often
in our busy modern world. The small home farms that used to make their own
butter and sell a few pounds to neighbors are mostly gone. In today's fast
pace very few people want to be tied to a milk animal that must be milked
every 12 hours. We want to show you the process of making butter on our
farm, starting with the cow. The follow pictorial will demonstrate butter
making and provide you with a reliable guide to make your own fine crafted
butter. Don't forget to get the homemade bread started to go with your
butter.

Make Apple Butter The Easy Way
By Susan Thigpen, Editor. At harvest festivals
all over the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, people are making apple
butter. If you like this regional gourmet delight, but can’t get it in your
"neck of the woods," try the following recipe. You can make it using apples
or pears, or even pumpkin!
How to make butter Let the cream be at the temperature of 55¡ to 60¡, by a Fahrenheit
thermometer; this is very important. If the weather be cold put boiling
water into the churn for half an hour before you want to use it; when that
is poured off strain in the cream through a butter cloth. From 1881

Cheese
Traditional Cheesemaking (SKAT, 1989, 74 p.) The present handbook
summarizes the author's experience gained during the 30 years which he and
other experts of SDC have spent in different developing countries promoting
appropriate techniques for cheesemaking as a means of improving peasant
livelihood. The book is now published in English to assist organized groups
of small producers as well as governmental and non-governmental institutions
which promote rural development in Third World countries.
Making Cheese at Home
Cheese is made from the milk of goats, sheep, buffalo, reindeer, camel,
llama, and yak but is usually made from cow's milk. Cow's milk is about 88%
water and the remainder is fat, protein, sugar, minerals and vitamins. In
the process of cheese-making, most of the protein, fat and some minerals and
vitamins are concentrated and separated as a solid. The remaining liquid,
called 'whey', contains most of the sugar and water and some protein,
minerals and vitamins. Whey is utilized in foods and feeds or disposed of as
waste.

Naivasha. Most likely you will have experienced that once you tried to boil
milk that was slightly sour to the taste. The result: the milk coagulated
forcing the whey to separate from the curd. You probably did throw away the
lot as "spoilt milk". If on the other hand, you had taken a "little trouble"
and filtered the curd through a piece of clean, loosely knit white cloth
(cheese cloth) or a sieve, the trapped curd is indeed "fresh cheese". With a
little salt added, the fresh cheese tastes real nice.
Cheese Making Illustrated This recipe for a basic hard cheese works for any kind of milk. I primarily
use my own fresh goats' milk, but have made it quite successfully with cow's
milk purchased from the grocery as well as raw cow's milk from a local
farmer.
Making Soft Cheeses
Cheese, a concentrated form of milk, is rich in protein, calcium and
riboflavin. About 10 pounds of milk are required to make 1 pound of cheese.
Soft cheese can be made at home without specialized equipment. Soft cheese
contains over 45 percent water, while hard and semihard cheeses contain 30
to 45 percent water. Dry hard cheeses have less than 30 percent moisture
content.
The technology of making cheese from camel milk (Camelus dromedarius)
Research has shown that the camel is the most efficient domestic animal for
converting vegetative matter into work, milk and meat. Camel milk is already
used for human consumption, in its fresh or fermented forms or as butter,
but only rarely as cheese. Camel milk is more technically difficult to
process than milk from other domestic animals and some researchers have even
claimed that camel milk cheese would be impossible to produce. However, if
normal cheese-making procedures are adapted to camel milk's particular
characteristics, satisfactory cheeses can be made. The technology of making
cheese from camel milk describes the composition of camel milk, compares it
with other milks and explains how it can be used to make cheese.
Cheesemaking in 6 steps
Whether it comes from a cow, a goat or a sheep the only basic ingredient is
milk. The main steps in cheesemaking are also very similar. Before the milk
is curdled it must be homogenized to obtain the required amount of protein,
fat and so on.
Cheese.com
Cheese is nutritious food made mostly from the milk of cows but also other
mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, reindeer, camels and yaks. Around
4000 years ago people have started to breed animals and process their milk.
That's when the cheese was born. Explore this site to find out about
different kinds of cheeses from around the world. You can search the

Make cottage cheese
Cottage cheese is really easy to make
at home. It is probably the easiest of all the cheeses to make. Cottage
cheese is very healthy and nutritious, not to mention easily digested.
Commercial cotage cheeses may have some very bad additives, but homemade
cottage cheese is so pure and natural. And since it is, it is highly
perishable and should be used in three to four days. It may seem difficult
and confusing at first, but that's only with your first batch, after that
it's a breeze.

The Cheese Wizard
- An online guide to cheesemaking including sample recipes. Cheese is
a fermented milk product made from the curds produced when milk is
coagulated. Usually it is made from cow's milk but there are many varieties
made from sheep's milk and goat's milk. Cheese can also be made from the
milk of various other animals. Real mozzarella, for example, is made from
buffaloes' milk
Homemade Cottage Cheese
- Procedure for making cottage cheese. Under the most ideal
conditions, cottage cheese made at home is not likely to be as good as that
bought from the dairy shelf. On the other hand, making cheese at home can
provide a high quality food at medium cost. It may be consumed alone or with
any other food item.
Making Cottage Cheese
- Making cottage cheese at home. Cottage cheese is a concentration of
the milk protein or curd portion of milk and is very high in nutritive
value. It can be enjoyed as fresh cheese or as a component of other foods,
and can easily be made at home. High quality raw skim milk is necessary to
make a good cottage cheese and can be obtained from family cows or other
supply.
Making cheese: step by step
Long before the word `biotechnology' was as commonly used as it is today, it
was typified by the cheesemaking process. Nowadays we know exactly what
occurs during the process of turning milk into cheese.
Cheese
Cheese is especially difficult to make because of the difficulty of
finding what is called a starter --the bacteria culture added to the milk to
start the curd formation. It is possible to make cheese without a starter,
but the starter is what gives different cheeses their distinctive flavor,
and without one the cheese almost always ends up tasting like pot cheese,
more commonly known as farmer's cheese or cottage cheese.

Yogurt

and eat it often, you may enjoy preparing yogurt at home. Depending on the
form of milk used, you will probably save money, as well. The guidelines and
procedures in this guide will help you make a quality product.
YOGURT MAKING ILLUSTRATED.
Yogurt is a fermented milk product which originated in Turkey in which a
mixed culture of
Lactobacillus bulgaricus (or occasionally L. acidophilus ) and
Streptococcus thermophilus produce lactic acid during
fermentation. The lactic acid lowers the pH and makes it tart and causes the
milk protein to thicken. The partial digestion of the milk when these
bacteria ferment milk makes yogurt easily digestible.In addition, these
bacteria will help settle GI upset including that which follows oral
antibiotic therapy by replenishing non-pathogenic flora of the
gastrointestinal tract.
Making
Yogurt Yogurt production
demonstrates fermentation by Streptococcus thermophilum and
Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Heated milk is inoculated and maintained at a
given temperature causing bacteria to grow and ferment lactose, the sugar in
milk. The bacteria produce lactic acid which causes the milk to coagulate
and adds a sour flavor.
Making Yogurt
Making yogurt is a fairly simple process. It requires a thermophilic culture
or one made of a starter yogurt. You can either use a heaping tablespoon of
cultured yogurt for this or make and freeze your own culture, or just save a
cup of plain yogurt to start the next batch with each time.
Making Yogurt at Home
Information on and instructions for making yogurt are included here. Yogurt
is made by inoculating certain bacteria (starter culture), usually
Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, into milk. After
inoculation, the milk is incubated at approximately 110°F ± 5°F until firm;
the milk is coagulated by bacteria-produced lactic acid.
Yogurt is a tangy,
nutritionally excellent dairy product that can be made at home. But "how is
it made?" and "what are the perfect conditions for making yogurt?" can be a
good subject for primary level Science Project. This project can be
performed at all other levels with more scientific view to the chemistry of
making yogurt. Requires [FREE] membership.
MAKE YOUR OWN YOGURT
from make-stuff.com. This would be better if they warned you to use
"live culture" yogurt for the starter. Yogurt is created by the
propagation of bacteria cultures. Basically, if you place a tablespoon of
yogurt in a glass of milk, the bacteria will reproduce and spread through
the milk, and within 6 to 12 hours, transform the milk to yogurt. But yogurt
cultures are "fussy" -- the milk must be boiled first in order to remove any
competing bacteria and then cooled to a lukewarm temperature so that the
yogurt bacteria won't be killed by high heat. You could also use sterile
powdered milk, or a combination of the two (boiled and sterile).

How to tell a bad egg
a friend of ours showed us that you could judge the freshness of an
egg by placing it in water about an inch deeper than the egg is long. As an
egg ages, the air cell expands. So, depending on how the egg lies in the
water, you can tell whether the egg is fresh enough to eat on its own, or if
it is old enough that, because of the taste, you should use it only for
baking, or if it is best to just discard it.
